Virtual Resus Room
Looking for a better way to run sim online?
Meet the VRR.
VRR Demo Video (45s).mp4Simple tools.
Google Slides: "The Room"
Learners open up the "room" on their laptop. They watch, click, drag, copy/paste, and type notes - making synchronous edits to "complete" resus tasks. Simple as creating a powerpoint.
Zoom: Audiovisual
Using Zoom (or similar audio-visual conferencing tool) allows participants to see and communicate with each other.
Simple goals.
No more screenshare.
Enough of "can you see my screen". Our learners deserve better than watching us click through slides. No passive learning here.
Using the synchronous collaborative Google Doc, every learner interacts independently with the "room" on their own screen.
No more awkward silences.
For even skilled educators, didactic lectures just are not as engaging.
With online sim, participants communicate and work as a team. Every learner has a job and is engaged in a common goal: helping their simulated patient.
No more maybes.
Forget the oral-exam style "I would", "I could", "We should".
In sim, learners actually do tasks. They commit to decisions.
Faciltitators update vitals and case progression in response to these choices, providing immediate consequences. This allows for lasting learning.
No more inequity.
VRR cases are free, and meant for everyone.
Why? Because we believe everyone deserves high quality simulation education, not just those who have access to high tech sim labs.
Sim doesn't need to expensive or fancy to be effective.
Big Impact.
